HI Mike
Rob is an amazing guy.

I think I enjoy qrp because I like CW and frankly in one of the garden
apartments in the Capitol Towers I don't want to run high power so as not to
interfere with my neighbors.

I persist and I'm sure I'll make an HF contact eventually.

I also own a Kenwood TS480s which can run 100 watts or lower  power levels.

I have tried two of the shortened high-power dipoles for 20 meters on my
balcony but again they are virtually worthless.

The Kenwood keeps giving me high swr readings on those antennas. Probably
they are too close to objects.

I don't want to be restricted to just 2 meters.

Have a great rest of the week.

73,

Eric
